news from the neighborhood

so the the word is out about the pregnancy among the neighborhood kids.

it started a couple of weeks ago, when we were going out and like 4 kids were sitting on the porch swing across the street - this is the two little homeschooled glasses-wearing nerds (a boy who is maybe 8, a girl who is 10 or 11) and a couple of 7 or 8 yr old girls from down the street. the occasional 4 yr old tagalong baby sibling might have been there too, but i'm not sure. i waved and they waved back, and then in a sudden burst, one of them called out 'are you pregnant?' - and then i looked, and they were all scandalized and shushing the one who had said it. LOL! so i told them yes, and then they were like, 'see i told you' and stuff, to each other. they asked was it twins, was it a boy or a girl, etc.

yesterday they were outside when we were leaving and they asked where we were going. 'just to the store.' they said 'all three of you?' just too enthused about their own cleverness. and i said 'all two and a half of us' and they cracked up.

whose blog is this?

'accidental' ??

i've been blogging on and off since 2001. daily, monthly, random, themed, in hosted blogging communities and out in the wind. i took this blogger name as a lark in 05 or 06, when i was blogging about moving into a new home, and looking for a place to write down my at times quite psychedelic dreams.

then in 07 me and the hubster decided to have a kid. which gave the title a whole 'nother slant.

and there you are.

click on through to the early archives if you want to see general bloggishness from back in the early days; if you're not into the more mommyish things i've been musing about lately you might enjoy my older stuff. either way thanks for stopping by! :o)
